South Carolina got a brief rest Monday
from wildfires that have ravaged thousands
of acres in recent weeks, and also got help
from the South Carolina Army National
Guard in the form of two helicopters for
fighting fires along the coastal plains.
Hrelighters were containing the remnants
of two fires that had burned more than 4,500
acres in Horry County along the coast during
the weekend, said forester Dean Carson.
But for the most part the state had smaller

despite dry, windy conditions. A burning ban
was still in effect and a state of emergency
declared by Gov. Dick Riley had not been

The dog wore a red sweater

and had a football tucked
under his right "arm."
